Compared against the Nevada Revised Statutes as published AI-generated reading aid — verify against the official bill.

The bill prioritizes claims for spousal support alongside child support in the context of multiple writs of garnishment.

  • NRS 31.249

    any writ of garnishment to satisfy a judgment for the collection of child support must be given first priority. → any writ of garnishment to satisfy a judgment for the collection of child support or spousal support must be given first priority.

    This change ensures that both child support and spousal support judgments have equal priority when multiple writs of garnishment are present.

  • NRS 31.249

    the writ of garnishment must be served upon the Division of Human Resource Management of the Department of Administration. → the writ of garnishment must be served upon the State Controller.

    This change updates the entity that must be served with the writ of garnishment when the garnishee is the State of Nevada.
